Pod Squad: Getting Guns Out Of The Wrong Hands

Volunteers for the Hawaii chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America are pushing Senate Bill 2436, which would shorten the time period for voluntary surrender of firearms and ammunition upon disqualification from ownership, possession, or control from 30 days to seven days (they hope it’ll be amended to 48 hours).

Chad Blair is joined on the Pod Squad by three of the volunteers, Melissa Pavlicek and Donna Arany in the studio and Bennett Cale on Maui.
